Historical Corpus of Substandard French. Private letters from the lower classes all over France in three periods (1789-1918) in translitterated and commented edition

CHSF旨在为基础研究做出贡献，并缩小法语历史编纂与大多数人口（即社会文化下层阶级）的语言之间存在的差距。在19世纪，法国的下层阶级接近于通用语言，但在不同地区的法语变体中认识到它。另一种选择是用所谓的地方语言写作，比如巴斯克语、德语、意大利语。自第一次世界大战以来，这种离经叛道的经文更为人所知。关于1914年以前的时期，法国的史学确信缺乏资料来源。我们的项目收集了三万多份离经叛道的文件，并走访了法国各地的档案馆。这些几乎不为人知的来源，也使我们有可能为法国撰写一部自下而上的语言史。我们要求提供财政支持的第二个时期将专门用于这些文本的近十分之一的历时版。这些信件将以外交文字音译编辑，并附有评论和选定的传真。语料库的其余部分将在参考书目中提出。有记载的时间分为1789年至1815年、1816年至1913年和1914年至1918年三个时期。这个语料库不仅对语言学、社会史和军事史有用，而且对字母排序、法语在法国的扩展、地方语言的经文性以及未经训练的作家所写的私人信件的发展等方面的研究也很有用。

The CHSF has the intention to contribute to fundamental research and to close the gap that exists in historiography of French in relation to the language of the majority of the population, that is the sociocultural lower classes. During the 19th century, French lower classes approached to the common language, but realized it in different regional French varieties. As an alternative, there exists writing in the so-called regional languages like Basque, German, Italian. This deviant scripturality is better known since the First World War. Concerning the period before 1914, the historiography of French is convinced that sources are lacking. Our project gathered, travelling to archives all over France, a corpus of more than 30,000 deviant documents. These almost unknown sources make it possible to compose for France, too, a linguistic history from the bottom. The second period for which we ask for financial support will be dedicated to the diatopical-diachronical edition of almost one tenth of these texts. They will be edited in diplomatic transliteration with comments and selected facsimiles. The rest of the corpus will be presented in bibliographies raisonnées. The documented time is divided in three periods 1789 to 1815, 1816 to 1913 and 1914 to 1918. This corpus will be useful not only for linguistic, social and military history, but also for research on alphabetization, extension of French in France, scripturality in regional languages and the development of the private letter written by untrained writers.
